23. Overview
 Data-focused editing for legacy design elements
 Good for when you don't have Designer handy
… or just don't want to fire up your Windows VM
 In the initial betas, focused on forms, views, folders, and stylesheets
 Also happened to be a good experiment in single-XPage, many-CC app
design and use of Dojo UI

24. Forms

25. Views

26. Stylesheets

27. Future Direction
 Fewer bugs!
 Additional design elements (image resources, etc.)
XPages are trouble
 Most importantly: org.openntf.domino.design API

28. Intellectual Property Policy
 Peter Tanner
 Currently working with IBM as a consultant on contract and IP issues, and
as IP Manager for OpenNTF.
 Developed full set of governance and IP documents and policies for Open
Health Tools and OpenNTF.
 Spent 13 years with OTI and IBM handling business development for
embedded Java, establishment of Eclipse, international business
relationships and participation in government R&D programs;
 Worked five years in Canadian government (Foreign Affairs and Industry
Canada) promoting technology exports to Europe and Asia;
 Spent 13 years in computer graphics R&D at the National Research Council
of Canada and the University of Waterloo.

29. IP Goals
 Rigourous – but flexible.
 To be taken seriously, OpenNTF needs to be closer to Eclipse and Apache
rather than SourceForge.
 Companies trust software that comes from Apache and Eclipse
 On SourceForge, anything goes.
 However, there are members of the Community who want to be able to
use GPL license:
 To prevent others from making commercial products
 Or since they want to use GPL-licensed components
 Some contributors didn't want to submit to rigourous process
 And we have Legacy Code
 Solution was to clearly identify code that met Eclipse/Apache-like IP rules.

30. IP Policy
 All contributors must be covered by ICLA or CCLA – no exceptions!
 All contributions must be under Apache or one of GPL3 family of licenses
 Rare exceptions if use of these licenses not possible
 Contributions start out as “Not Cleared”
 Some companies will not touch “Not Cleared projects.
 Github is working repository – projects cleared on “release” to OpenNTF
site.
 We create “Teams” on Github with write access to their projects

31. Clearance
 Scan using using a keyword search tool
 All 3rd
party software must be listed in Notice file
 All licenses must be compatible
 All licenses must be open source
 All source code must be included or available
 JSON.org (not an open source license)
 Committer checks for documentation and whether code runs
 We will only take down code if:
 Receive take down request from the DCMA process
 Notice that project is using proprietary code without permission
 Source code is not included
 Requres proprietary product that is not freely available

32. Problems detected by clearance process
 Missing or incomplete License and Notice files
 Incompatible licenses
 GPL in Apache project
 Some Creative Commons licenses
 GPL2 and GPL3 (go figure)
 Use of unlicensed Blog postings
 Why can't bloggers simply add “all code is licensed under Apache 2.0” to their footer
 Inclusion of internal URLs
 Inclusion of personal information
 Missing source
 Requirement for proprietary code

33. Current Status
 Nearly all projects are under the Apache license
 Most submissions have no issues
 We are improving our reputation for safe code
 Also – feel free to contact me with any questions about your submissions.

34. Get Engaged
 Contribute projects and snippets
 Report defects, create feature requests
 Create projects reviews, rate projects and comment blogs
 Participate in the Technical Committee
 Become a member company
 Leverage the advertisment options
